It began at 5:45 p.m., when the driver of the New York State bus failed to negotiate a steep and winding hill leading from the HoHoKus train station to Glenwood Avenue in Ridgewood.

Ridgewood and NJ Transit police halted all trains to and from Hoboken until the bus could be towed.

The scene was cleared at about 6:35 p.m.
